Sequence of the highly conserved gene encoding the human 54kDa subunit of signal recognition particle.

The complete sequence of the human gene encoding the 54kDa subunit of the signal recognition particle has been isolated from a cDNA library. Degenerate oligonucleotides based on the 5' and 3' coding region of the canine gene and a mammalian codon usage table, were used to amplify the sequence using PCR. The nucleotide sequence of the human gene shows that the human sequence shares a 95.8% nucleotide sequence homology and 100% amino acid sequence homology to it's canine counterpart. The sequence has been given the accession number X86373 in the EMBL database.
